    50' Carver, drawing 4.5'. We hugged the east bulkhead by 20'.<br /> It was 1' below high tide. At least 12' depth. Once in the marina no issues. Call TowBoat US if you have questions or concerns. I did and they were very helpful. Sam & Rev on Here's To Us!! at WhatYachtToDo.com

    Entering through the middle of the inlet I was plowing through mud with my 4'11" keel. Didn't get better closer to the floating dock. Didn't even try to go closer into the basin, where I have been anchoring before. Docked at a floating dock at the marina across the canal for a buck a foot-no power.

    Per Brandon's local knowledge as Boat US captain, hug the east side coming and going into the inlet. Once inside depths are fine and you can circle back to the city dock on the west side or continue on to marina or anchorage.
